Kingfisher Bay Resort - Mentawai Islands- West Sumatra - INDONESIA

Take a journey to escape the pressures and obligations of daily life and immerse yourself in the island rhythm of a unique and remarkably unspoiled corner of the globe. Join us for a once in a lifetime experience amongst world class waves set in a culturally rich and spectacularly beautiful location.

Positioned directly in front of Lances Left, arguably the most consistent wave in the Mentawai archipelago, this will be our first year accommodating those looking for a genuine Mentawai experience. Whether you are looking for a surf adventure, an insight into a completely different culture or just a relaxing holiday, you will find it all at Kingfisher Bay Resort.

Kingfisher Bay Resort is a gateway to a world of amazing waves, nature, culture and adventure. Let us and our ever helpful and smiling staff show you a truly memorable Mentawai experience in all its remarkable diversity and uniqueness.

We give you the opportunity to experience a strikingly original part of the world unlike anywhere you have ever been to or imagined; freakishly perfect waves, a completely unique and fascinating culture with a backdrop of idyllic palm fringed beaches and turquoise waters. As our name suggests, the resort is situated on the edge of an expansive bay, regularly frequented by stunning and acrobatic kingfisher birds, as well as a vast array of other wildlife including majestic sea eagles, large flying squirrels and pristine coral reefs teeming with sea life.

At Kingfisher Bay Resort we like to offer a wide range of activities, with an emphasis on utilising the natural and cultural resources unique to the Mentawai Islands. However we also take every possible measure to provide you with the opportunity to enjoy your favourite activities and interests that you normally don’t have time to pursue at home.

FishingThe tropical waters of Southern Sipora provide excellent fishing opportunities for the casual angler. The resort boats are primarily used for surfing transport, so between wave-chasing sessions why not drop a line and maybe catch yourself dinner! Fishing tackle and equipment at the resort is fairly basic and limited, therefore we encourage more serious fishermen to bring their own gear.

SnorkelingWe are very fortunate to have a wide choice of fantastic snorkeling sites with warm, crystal clear water close to the resort. Take a short bike or boat ride to discover a diverse collection of hard and soft corals which provide a home and feeding ground for schools of vibrant reef fish, shellfish, anemones, giant clams and turtles.

People of all fitness levels, even those with only limited swimming ability, can enjoy snorkeling. For first timers, one of our staff members will be happy to give you a quick lesson in snorkel use and basic safety before you take the plunge. Snorkel equipment at the resort is available for free use by all guests.

WoodcarvingUnder the guidance of talented local Mentawaian wood carvers and weavers, you can design and create your own piece of artwork. Make a unique souvenir for friends or family whilst getting to know the people who call Sipora Island their home.

Bar and RestaurantThe natural beauty of the Mentawai islands is the stage for what has become a mecca for surfers around the world, and with our dream location in front of Lances Left on the southern tip of Sipora island, those tantalizing and seemingly out of reach fantasies of surfing breathtakingly perfect waves can become a reality! Fishing and snorkeling are catered for as well as a wide and varying range of activities on land.

For the culturally curious, the local village provides a window into the lives of a race and people with a very different lifestyle to what most of us are familiar with. Get to know your friendly neighbours and hosts by joining in a woodcarving or weaving lesson under a palm tree or get involved in the daily volleyball match in the village. If all this sounds like too much activity, feel free to relax in a shaded hammock or catch the breeze in our open-planned restaurant, where drinks and food are available. Meals are prepared using fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meats, cooked in a variety of styles including; Western, Indonesian, Chinese as well as barbeques. We consider great food and lots of it an integral part of an enjoyable experience, so meals are served buffet style to ensure even the most ravenous appetites will be satisfied.
